FROM THE DUST / Eduardo Lecuona

Inspired by three sculptures – Michelangelo’s Pieta, the Borghese Hermaphroditus, and Bernini’s Ecstasy of Saint Teresa – From the Dust illustrates the experiences of three very distinct women in their attempts to reach spiritual peace. A mother challenges her faith after the death of her son; a transgender looks towards God for reconciliation; and a nun’s devout spirituality leads her to explore her carnal desires.
